Surprised and glad to hear Cliffy B express this huge problem with modern gaming.

"Too easy", "linear" and "a lot of QTE's". Yes, very much so.

It really baffles me that most gamers don't get it. That gamers eat up and consume all this casual interactive movie crap out there that is produced.

well, i like that sometimes.  heavy rain was great imo.  but we had that thread a while back, "the unchartidization of video games"...   i think the problem is most every game is going that route and it is too much, too many.  we need the other side of things equally represented.  and to get that it is psn/xbla or multiplayer deathmatches.

I think the same. It's nothing wrong with some easy games. But it's not good if all games are practically equal. There should also the hard games. Demon Souls probably fills a empty niche here.

The irony! That's like Stalin complaining governments are too violent.

Back in the day when games where games and men where true.... fuck this shit.
Gaming is perfect right now OK the Sequelitis is a problem but everything else is better then ever. 10 year ago games like Diablo 2 Doom and Quake where considered the greatest ever if you would publish a game like this today people would laugh about it they would be mediocre at best. One of the most Linear games ever is Super Mario. Maybe games are easier as they where in the 90s, but don´t forget gaming is not a sport or some kind competition people play games to relax not to exhaust and frustrate themselves, and almost every game has different difficulty levels.

Diablo 2, Warcraft 3 Quake, CS, and Unreal Tournament absolutely destroy the current generation of games in replayability, fun factor, balance, and other stuff.

This gen (mostly HD consoles) is only the best if you don't like gameplay.

And do you actually believe this BS or are just writing it to annoy me? Of course I hate gameplay I mean who does not it is bothering me. I mean today games need a good Gameplay a decent a good visuals, 10-15 years ago they just needed to be playable. But actually I don´t give a shit if you agree or disagree if you don´t the current games just don´t play them. Play CS and Quake.

Ypu know, I do play those games a lot, because they are fun and have longeivity because they are deep, and gameplay focused and stay fun as long as you play them.
You said it yourself that you don't like gameplay, so why are you even bothering playing games at all? Why not buy movies instead. They are cheaper, and have no gameplay to bother you. Not to mention that they tell stories a lot better than games do.



I LOVE ICELAND!

@kungkras he was sarcastic and doesn't hate gameplay in reality^^

Sarcasm? I really tried to be obvious. Gameplay is as important as story to me.

btw. if you like gameplay focused games you should try Vanquish it has the best TPS gameplay I have ever seen
